Alan Gates commented on HIVE-15037:
-----------------------------------
I made a mistake. This jar is not released under the SCSL 3.0 license. When I
run the license report in maven it tells me it doesn't know what the license is
(see 1 below). Several of the jars did that, and I found licenses for those
jars using Google search. Based on https://java.net/projects/jta-spec/ it
would appear that this is released under CDDL 1.0, which is acceptable for
distribution with binary artifacts, per
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
I don't know why I thought it was under SCSL 3.0.
I'm going to mark this as resolved and file a bug to fix the license for jta to
be correct.
On the up side, we received an answer back from LEGAL that SCSL is not an open
source license.
1. You can reproduce this by doing {{mvn project-info-reports:dependencies}}
and looking in {{metastore/target/site/dependencies.html}}
> Figure out whether the SCSL 3.0 license is acceptable

> The jar jta included in Hive's binary distribution is licensed under SCSL 3.0
> (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/SCSL3.0.rtf). This isn't listed
> on the Apache page regarding licenses
> (https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html). We need to figure out if this
> is acceptable or not.
